Depending on your needs, Cindy's place is pretty good value.
It's a 10 minute walk to the Udom Suk BTS, relatively inexpensive, has AC, cable TV, a large and comfortable bed, decent wifi, and hot water. The AC does take a few hours to get into gear, but you can set a timer on the AC so that it will turn on right before you come back home. This is a fantastic way to mitigate the problem, and save your host money on the electric bill, a win-win.
Some reviews complain about the old building. If this is your first time in Thailand, it may come as a bit of a shock. But for me, I needed a budget place for a short time, and the old building was not a big deal because the room is clean and renovated.
Another person mentioned security issues since anyone can walk into the building. That was an inexperienced and paranoid reviewer because Thailand is very safe. Besides, I had a lock and a massive padlock on my door, no one is getting in. I never felt unsafe in the room with my girlfriend.
The reviews which mentioned weak water pressure in the shower and sink are true, which is a bummer, but not a deal breaker since there is hot water and you can still have a decent shower. Cindy is also nice enough to provide towels and a hanging rack to dry off clothes.
Communication with Cindy and her staff was spot on. Check in and check out were a breeze. I thought I had to clean the room but there is a maid who comes to clean the room upon checkout. Feel free to leave her a tip in the tip jar, which I did.
Udom Suk is a bit far from town, but getting there with the BTS was so quick and convenient. If you come from New York like me, the commute time will feel like nothing. I think it took around 20 minutes to get to Siam.
I wrote this review as honestly as possible. I hope Cindy's room meets your needs and budget, as it did mine. Thank you again, Cindy, for your responsiveness and letting me stay in your wonderful home!
